There's so much news happening around the world that we're somehow supposed to stay on top of.

That's why we launched The Big Take.

It's a daily podcast from Bloomberg and I Heart Radio that turns down the volume a bit

to give you some space to think.

I'm Wes Kosova.

Each weekday I dig into one important story and talk about why it matters.

Listen to The Big Take on The I Heart Radio App, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

Hey everybody, it's me Josh.

And for this week's S.Y.S.K.S.

Selects, I've chosen how snake handlers work.

It's a really truly fascinating episode that you might have overlooked.

And yeah, we talk a lot about Christian snake handling,

but we also talk about people who handle snakes for fun, or because it's their job.

There's a lot of people who handle snakes weirdly.

So kick back and enjoy this episode from May of 2016, how snake handlers work.

Hey and welcome to the podcast.

I'm Josh Clark and there's Charles W. Chop Bryant and there's Jerry over there.

Chuck laughed at my hair everybody.

Well, if my beard can be the fourth character, your hair could be the fifth.

Oh, oh really?
